Did you know that about 15.7 million adult family caregivers care for someone who has Alzheimer’s or other dementia? As women tend to be the prominent caregivers of their families, it is very likely that you may have to help someone through the stages of dementia at some point during your life.

After a corporate management career at IBM and McKinsey & Company, JJ Jordan reinvested herself in the field of Alzheimer’s/Dementia after three of four parents in her immediate family were diagnosed with the disease.
